At this mont, a crew mber on the deck shouted in surprise, as if they had discovered sothing. They hadn’t ignored the island next to them, but as n who made their living at sea, no matter how beautiful the scenery was, it still couldn’t surpass their primary concerns.
"What?! Let see!"
Just as the story was destined to unfold, Mr. Yu imdiately beca excited. Thank heavens, this ti, fortune finally smiled upon him. If it went as poorly as the previous tis, he would really be left with nothing. He couldn’t even earn enough for the fuel costs.
"Go ahead, go ahead, since you won’t be helping later anyway. It’s good that you won’t get yourself covered in fish. But I’ll look into the situation of this island afterward. Don’t go too deep..."
Although he had never been to this place, it was within the range of this sea area. He wasn’t unfamiliar with other islands. His thoughts were indeed the sa as those of this unruly youngster, believing they were all probably the sa, islands without much difference...
Should be.
......
A group of college students enthusiastically set foot on the crescent-shaped silver beach of the island.
The white, delicate sand appeared incredibly elegant and serene under the wash of the pure waves, and even the air seed particularly fresh.
They laughed heartily, running back and forth across the beach with abandon. So splashed water on each other, while others collected seashells lying on the sand. So of the mixed groups of males and females used the opportunity to beco closer under the guise of playful teasing... The scene was full of joy and harmony. However, this beach was empty, and despite its scenic beauty, they quickly beca bored with it.
The island was surrounded by a large expanse of primordial forest, and further in the distance, a solitary peak stood tall, seemingly hinting at even more wonderful scenery.
The mist only hovered over the sea, and there was no cloud nor fog on the island, which made them realize that this island was perhaps larger than they had initially imagined. However, being in this mountain, they didn’t have a concrete concept, only seeing a clearer view compared to the hazy glimpses through the fog, but it was still just the tip of the iceberg.
Originally, they were a bit hesitant, not planning to venture too deep, fearing they might accidentally get lost... But everything changed when a girl excitedly discovered a path in the forest.
Leading into the forest heading towards the beach...
There was a clear path.
The path was concealed by the bushes, flanked by dense woods on both sides, yet it didn’t appear dark and deep, causing fear. Instead, it felt like a secluded path in a famous tourist spot... It is well-known that once sothing begins, the subsequent developnt becos inevitable.
Curiously, they called their friends to join them, walking in to take a quick look, planning to retreat soon afterward.
But after walking only a short distance along the path, they ca across a gently flowing stream, with a piece of wood laid across the stones in the water... A simple wooden bridge, flanked by two quaint, short stone statues with indistinct faces, adding a touch of antiquity.
— What do these artifacts indicate!
Just like the existence of this path itself, it made them excited and relaxed all at once.
With curiosity, excitent, and anticipation, the group couldn’t help but continue exploring forward, always wanting to see what’s ahead... They were completely unaware that they had forgotten sothing, and even more unaware that as they walked through the forest and the tranquil ponds, there were always things observing them from the shadows.
However, the demons left on the island naturally possessed higher intelligence and adhered to the rules. A few unruly ones had already been dealt with.
Thus, the group was not attacked. In fact, in their ignorance, they safely and soundly arrived at the lakeside, marveling all the way, completely unaware of the danger they had just bypassed, comparable to the wild environnt in the movies like Skull Island.
Too many unimaginable monsters could easily take their lives.
"It’s so beautiful... It’s like a dream."
"I think my phone’s mory is full, ahhhhh, I should’ve brought a digital cara..."
The group couldn’t help but lant repeatedly, shocked again and again by the scenery in front of them, as if they were in a paradise. They kept taking pictures with their phones, and several girls instinctively wanted to share them, only to realize there was no signal when they checked their phones, reminding them they were indeed out at sea.
Yet, it only reminded them of this, without realizing that they had already walked too far.
They didn’t even notice they had been walking for hours, through dense forests, over rugged mountain paths... Mainly because it had always been so easy; they weren’t even out of breath or sweating. Since they didn’t feel exhausted and were fully imrsed in and enjoying the natural beauty, they naturally didn’t sense the passage of ti.
The overly rich and pure Spiritual Power in the atmosphere...
Benefited all life on the island.
This level of Spiritual Qi was not the highest but was the most suitable because if it were any higher, ordinary people couldn’t survive in such an environnt, bursting organs with every breath... Just as humans need oxygen, but pure oxygen is poisonous.
